I’m so sorry for your loss. Matt is such a good person, with a good pure heart. I remember him coming to get Tori for school everyday. He could make a basket with his back to the hoop – every time! I loved his daily visits, walk in the front door, start telling us a story about his day while walking to kitchen to see if i left the stove on, to the bathroom to see if Tori left the curling iron on, then come and sit with us to finish his story. i love that he let us in and was comfortable being a part of us. Many good memories with the Wiltzius family. Hugs to you all.

I first met matt @ a local restaurant on pizza night every week.Got talking to him and we found out we had family connections. So most weeks after that we visited together on pizza night. Matt was quiet, shy and soft spoken with a smile that would warm your heart. He spoke highly of his grandparents. I truely enjoyed knowing him for that brief time and enjoyed his company. My deepest sympathy to Matts family.
